債券, 異性裝扮癖白變種狼人, y honestidad

• This is a bit of a mind trip: Bond is currently being translated into Chinese. Chapter 1 just went up. I'm... 在敬畏. Which I translated through Babelfish, so for all I know, I've just declared myself a transvestite albino werewolf.
  
  
• My shock and awe continues: I got a notice that some lovely people who asked me a while ago if they could translate my stuff into Spanish have started a community, id_traduce. I'm... rather completely blown away. Thus far they have Honestidad (Honesty). It is so weird to read something I wrote, but didn't!
  
  Aside: ¿Hay gente que lee este lj que hablan español? Me parece que sí.

Babelfish is fun indeed! :) These are gems ... I'm still chortling at the werewolf who had the hots for government bonds... but yeah, sometimes I actually need an accurate translation and Babelfish is very little help, if at all. With a language like Chinese it's even more all over the place because the grammatical structure is completely different; with the romantic and germanic languages, there are always a word or two that we can guess the meaning.

*Huggles you*

I love choir singing, more than solos... reminds me of my elementary school days — we have lots of choirs and so we always hear distant choir singing all over the campus. We sing hymns as well :D.
